Strangers in exile

You discover that you are a stranger living in exile when ...

you no longer love the world, or love what the world loves.

Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only ... pride in our achievements and possessions ... 1 John 2:15, 16 NLT

When the woman saw that the tree was ... desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate. Gen. 3:6 NASB


Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory; and he said to Him, "All these things I will give You, if You fall down and worship me." Matt. 4:8, 9 NASB



I do not receive glory from men. John 5:41 NASB
Nor did we seek glory from men. 2 Thess. 3:6 NASB

Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men's hearts; and then each man's praise will come to him from God. 1 Cor. 4:5 NASB
